Going Gold

Be on my side I'll be on yours
I can't trust it cause it's all a blur
And reality is getting old so I'm going gold
No hesitation anymore
The more that I see the more I'm sure
I hate working every single day and money is fake
I wanna spend my life doing things I like
And when I wake up in the morning I could feel alive
Stare into the sun without burning my eyes
And when I wake up in the morning maybe feel alive
I wanna spend my life with the love of my life
And we don't need to get married to have a good time
Stare into the sun, not burn my eyes
And when I wake up in the morning maybe feel alive
Stopped watching TV now I see
That I'm not who I wanted to be
So I'll make a new show by myself
It's called being well
And I like it when you read your lines
But I know that they are all just lines
And reality is getting old
And I'm getting old

Kissing Friends

Guess they were just fantasy
The things I thought that I had seen
Tracing valleys on your spine
Or making mountains of your sheets
Spend the morning talking slow
Feel it but don't let it show
Delusions of only you and me
When I say I thought of more
That's when things will take a turn
And I know it's time for me to leave
And I can't fake it I just wanted you to take me as I am
What I need's a lover 'cause I already got friends
You drive too fast I can't keep up
You move on fast and I'm still stuck
I got five people I call friends
I love them all so much to death
But now I need someone to hold
Kissing my friends gets old
I thought that you might feel the same
But this is no movie
And you don't want to sleep
Every night with someone like me
And I can't fake it I just wanted you to take me as I am
What I need's a lover 'cause I already got friends

Snow Song

Staring at the snow until I see my own reflection
Waiting for the Spring to show up and inflate my chest
You can spend your time having the hottest take online
I'll be tapping energy from mother nature's spine
And the last thing I remember is the next thing I'll forget
And a picture's next to nothing, I don't think it exists
And the highway fumes are noxious but they're also very new
And I'm rolling down my window and I drink them like perfume
We would both be animals if not for stupid thumbs
Free from all direction no objective but to run
I find no objective truth but glean moments of joy
And I'll hold them close when I'm consumed by the sun
And there's nothing I need
If I'm crying I'm free
There's a light on for me where I will sleep

Planted Like a Tree

My heart is torn in two because I wanna believe
Awareness of myself has only led to disease
I'm showing that I care but it's contractually
I oughta feel despair but I just walk down the street
I oughta make demands but I just bow at your feet
I bought a brand new house, it put the sadness in me
I'm mad because I'm crazy but I'm not angry
I oughta stay inside but I just open the door
I'm free
And it is planted like a tree
For the Atlantic I will pine
And in the water I'll be fine
And now I'm never sure of anything but never surprised
I'd give up fifty years for fifteen minutes of silence
I place religious faith in things as fragile as science
I oughta call it quits but I elect to believe
I watch the smartest people fall victim to their minds
I thought they were superior, I worry for mine
I love you, you're my friend and the reason I'm alive
And even at the end we'll be together in line
I'm free
And it is planted like a tree
For the Atlantic I will pine
And in the water I'll be fine
And you don't need a leader you can follow your heart
I didn't know it was the end 'til I was back at the start
I gave up playing pretend without a moment to spare
Now the daytime is a game I'm playing everywhere
I automatically give up myself when it rains
I take all of my pain and throw it back to the sea
My dreams are realistic and my life is absurd
So the daytime is a game and I am free as a bird
I'm free
